Being one of the more healthy fast food places doesn’t guarantee that everything is low fat and low cal. In fact, 2 of Chic-fil-A’s most commonly ordered items are just about the worst for you. I was surprised to see that the Chicken Caesar wrap was as bad as the standard deep fried Chic-fil-a sandwich. The wrap and the dressing are the big culprits. But both have over 400 calories (480 and 420) and both had 16 grams of fat. (All of these stats are available on their website.) So, go for the grilled items, especially the grilled chicken club without mayo. It is more like 300 calories, which makes a big difference if you add that extra 100-150 calories up for a whole week. If you check the calories on their dressings, you will see where the problem is- the caesar dressing comes in a 2.5 serving packet and has 160 calories per serving. Since most people use the whole packet, they are getting 320 calories of pure fat before you even add the wrap. So it is probably much worse than the 480 calories. Try the honey mustard instead- it only has 45 calories. That is a huge difference. It is all in the details… Oh, yeah, skip the fries.
